The only solution to this demise is through establishing a Christ-as-Life Worldview in and through this present generation. That starts with being awakened by the Holy Spirit, first to be indwelt by Christ’s mind/Life and secondly, by allowing His mind within the authentic believer to develop a worldview that is founded & managed from Heaven. Please forward!

When we hang out on a regular basis with fellow indwelt believers who prioritize living out the Life of Christ, we’re more likely to do likewise. Humans exemplify the behaviors of those they associate. No wonder the writer of Hebrews was so adamant about regular church gatherings (see 10:23–25); keeping faith with faithful people fosters faithfulness in & through Christ – THAT IS IF THEY ARE INDWELT BY HIM. Please forward!
